Best traditional steakhouse

[Anonymous]

The Palm is fine. But I prefer Capital Grill. This is all a matter of taste really, but we go quite a bit to steakhouses so I'll give you my ranking of the chains that I've been to:

Capital Grill
Morton's
The Palm
Ruth's Chris is definitely last choice.
801 Chophouse is an absolutely-not.

We got terrible service and so-so food at 801 Chophouse, but that was within a couple of weeks of opening, so perhaps they have figured things out. It was bad enough that we won't go back though, given all of the other options.

I haven't been to Bourbon Steak so can't advise one way or the other on it, but I do want to go.

Palm is in institution. And I like Bourbon in the Georgetown Four Seasons.

But really it depends on where you live or what hotel you're staying in. I wouldn't waste $60 an uber across town and back for a steakhouse.

Bourbon Steak is extraordinarily expensive and the location/decor is mediocre (especially considering it’s in a Four Seasons!!!!). The steak is very good.

I’d do the Prime Rib or Joe’s- both have better steakhouse atmosphere and the steaks are good to great.

We had a celebration dinner at Joe's recently and I was so disappointed with the place - way too tight & over crowded. Food was good but ridiculously expensive.
My favorite is The Palm but mostly because it's a bit more casual, fun, & always friendly. Cap Grille is great food but I find it too stuffy, boring and pretentious. (but go at least once!)

Next time reserve a booth in the dining room (not the main bar area).

It’s a steakhouse, how inexpensive were you thinking it would be?
